COKE-DBAWEBS LAM P- f Applicationfiled March so, 1903.

I To all whom it may concern.-

- :Be it known that I, JOHN S. SNYDER, a citizen of the United States,residing at Meyerswhich may be of any desired shape, but is shown in thedrawings as substantially rec- .tangularin shape, having a curved upperend.

dale, in the county of Somerset and'State of Pennsylvania, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Coke-Drawers Lamps; and I dodeclare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of theinvention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which itappertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to lamps for the use 'of coke-drawers.

The object of the invention is to provide a lamp of this character whichwill direct the light into the coke-oven, permitting the coke drawer oroperator to see into the oven without being blinded by the light of hislamp.

Another object is to provide a lamp in which the oil tank or font willbe out of the direct heat of the oven and to construct a lamp of thecharacter described which will be simple, strong and durable,inexpensive, and well adapted to the use for which it is designed.

With these and other objects in View the invention consists of certainnovel features of construction, combination, and arrangement of parts,as will be more fully described,and particularly pointed out in theappended claims. I

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a front elevation of the lamp. Fig. 2 is ahorizontal sectional View through the burner-tube and deflector on theline 2 2 of Fig. 1.

In the drawings, 1 denotes the oil tank or font.

2 denotes the oil-feed tube.

3 denotes the wick-chamber, and 4 denotes the burner-tube. The tank maybe of any suitable form and holding capacity and is provided in itsupper side with a filling-opening closed by a cap 1.

The oil-feed tube is connected at one end to the lower side of the tank1 and projects laterally therefrom a suitable distance, preferably sixinches or more, and connects at its opposite end with the wick-chamber 3a slight distance above the bottom of the same. The wick-chamber mayalso be of any suitable SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No.753,748, datedMarch 1, 1904.

shape, but is preferably cylindrical and has formed on its upper end theburner-tubeet.

5 denotes a concavecl shield or, deflector,

. 6Idenotes a cross brace or bar arranged near the lower end of thedeflector and connected 'at itsends to the opposite edgesofthe same.

7 denotes a tubular collar fixed to the crossbar 6 midway the length ofthe same and adapted to he slipped upon the burner-tube, therebyconnecting the deflector-plate to the same.

lower ends of the plate and wire are adapted to be bent around and fixedto the oil-feed tube 2 in juxtaposition to the tank 1. A hole or openingisformed through the plate 8 near its upper end to permit the lamp to behung up.

When in the operation of coke-ovens it becomes necessary to draw thecoke at night, a light is required by the operator, lamps being commonlyprovided for giving the required light. It has been found in practicethat the light from such lamps when not provided with shields ordeflectors shines into the face of the operator and preventing him fromseeing into the oven.

Another. objection to lamps as ordinarily used is that the oil tanks orfonts of the same being near the burner and consequently in line withoven-door are in danger of explod ing from the intense heat which comesfrom J Various changes in the form, proportion, and the minor details ofconstruction-may be resorted to without departing fr'om the prin cipleor sacrificing any of the advantages of this invention.

Having thus fully described my invention,

what I claim, and desire -tosecur'e by Letters"- Patent, is

1. A lamp of the class described, comprising an oil-font, a feed-tubeprojectinglaterally therefrom, a wick-chamber with which thefeed-tubecommunicates and having a cylindrical burner-tube on its upper side,said tube having-at its base a shoulder formed at the top of thewick-chamber, a hanger secured to the feed-tube'at a point betweenthefont andthe wick chamberya bowed concaved shie'ld deflector, a cross-barfixed at its ends to the side edges of the deflector and retaining-itsbowed form, and a cylindrical'collar Vertically disposed upon the outerside-of thecr'oss bar and directlyengaging the burner 'tube and restingon said shoulder to supportsaid'shield deflector, saidcollarfrictionally engaging the tube and axially adjustable thereon td permitthe deflector to stand in a plane parallel-with the feed-tube-or at anangle-theretmand" adaptedtobe slid vertically uponthe burner-tube forengagement and disengagement, substantially as described.

2. The combination with a lamp, comprising In'te'stim'ony' whereof =31have hereunto set my hand in presence of two' subscribing wit nesses.
